| marekg248: Walbrodt was a famous player, I'm quite surprised that nobody has kibitzed here so far.
I don't know much about him myself, but this may be one of his notable games - Walbrodt vs Loew, 1900 |

| malbase: Walbrodt was a young Berlin player. He challanged Tarrasch to a match and lost all but one game. That one game was a draw.
Walbrodt at the time was considered to be the second best player in Germany, after Tarrasch.
Rules of the Tarrasch - Walbrodt match:
There was no over stepping the time limit.
5 minutes were added to the clock at certain points of each game to avoid going over the limit.
Walbrodt after the Tarrasch match won prize in a Berlin Tournament. He died of consumption in 1902 at the age of 31. |

| malbase: Added comment: Walbrodt won second Prize at the Berlin 1897 Tournament. Comments on the Tarrasch match: Most of the games took 3-7 hours. One game took 11 hours. Tarrasch commenting on his own play, said he made no mistakes. Although in one game he made a weak move to avoid a draw.
For comments on the games: See Reinfeld's Tarrasch's Best Games (Out of Print). Some Libraries may have the book. Or Three Hundred Games by Tarrasch (In English). This book should be available. |

| percyblakeney: Being congratulated after a simul where he won all his games, Walbrodt meant that he really hadn't done that much since people played themselves into the loss without assistance. Walbrodt supposedly added, somewhat melancholically: "Everybody goes to ruin through own efforts". Frans G. Bengtsson, who retells the story, means that the comment has bearing on Walbrodt's own life, since he supposedly was a heavy drinker. |

| Peligroso Patzer: Not only did Walbrodt participate in the legendary Hastings 1895 tournament, his results in that event were very respectable: 10.5/21. Among other players he out-placed in the final standings were Janowski and Gunsberg, both of whom played in matches for the world championship (in 1909 and 1890-91, respectively). |

| percyblakeney: One of Walbrodt's better tournaments not to have been mentioned here is Nuremberg 1896, packed with World Champion candidates. In the tournament Walbrodt won against Pillsbury and Chigorin, and drew Lasker, Steinitz, Tarrasch, Maroczy and Schlechter: http://xoomer.alice.it/cserica/scac... |

| Karpova: <Peligroso Patzer: Janowski and Gunsberg, both of whom played in matches for the world championship (in 1909 and 1890-91, respectively)> Janowski played for the Worldchampionship in 1910. The ten games match in 1909 was not a WC match. |

| laskereshevsky: Nothing personal with nobody, but for the sake of true i must say that the point if the 1909 match was or wasnt a WC match is still in dispute,...in several books and internet chess-site its possible to see both opinions showed.... At least is a not definited matter..... |
